Question

Each day last week you sold 32, 45, 47, 63, and 72 product accessories. What was the median number of accessories sold?

Answer 1

`\bf \stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{odd amount of data items}}{\textit{median is the guy in the sorted middle}}}{32,45,\underset{\uparrow }{47},63,72}`

Answer 2

Median = 47

Explanation:

Median is the "middle" number when arranged from smallest to largest.

Arranging in ascending order:

32, 45, 47, 63, 72

We see that the 3rd number in the list is the "middle" number.

3rd number is 47

Hence, median is 47
